Let P be the point of intersection of the line and the plane .
If the distance of the point P from the plane is , then and are the roots of the equation
If the distance of the point P from the plane is , then and are the roots of the equation
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)✓ Correct
- (D)
Answer: (C)
Solution
The line can be parametrized as . Since P lies on the plane , we substitute: , which gives , so . Thus .
The distance from P to the plane is .
So and . The quadratic with roots 6 and 12 is .
The distance from P to the plane is .
So and . The quadratic with roots 6 and 12 is .
